The 2013 Automotive Group Build

Thanks rommelkiste. Looking forward to seeing your Porshe.

Thanks Greg. It was a fun build.

Thanks MIkey. Like the detail in the dash.

Hey. Nice Bug.

I have another update on my Hudson to go with my past one.

Progress has progressed a little more than it was before but now here are the most recent pictures I have:

 Since this time, I have added the rear wheels, the cabin walls, the rear seat, and the dashboard.

I'll try to get more recent pictures... I thought I took some last night, but I guess not. I'm finally nearing my end

Eric: that bug looks great.....nice job!

E I like this one!   It's got that "Perfect" Bug stance!  The color makes it pop.  soon as the little Porsche is finished, we'll line em up!    Nice job.  

Tony,

I finished the VW tonight. Here is the completed photo.

Thanks.

Eric

Dre,

It comes molded in that color. If you google the actual car it is a sharp color. Only thing is when you look at it close up, you can see slight mold lines in it. I haven't decided what color I want to paint it yet, maybe a gloss black???

Is that Chrysler Atlantic Concept Car body painted, or does it come out of the box with that finish?  

It kinda looks like brushed metal...

Thanks Tony.

I also have an AMT 55 Cameo pickup that I posted on page 20 that I would like to add.

Thanks again,

Eric.

The bug's looking great Ewheeler, I like the dash too, and the orange body really pops. I've updated the Build Roster with your latest peojects.

Excellent stuff !

Cheers

Tony

Tony,

I have two more new kits I would like to add to my build list.

The first is a Lindberg Chrysler Atlantic Concept Car. It's a curbside, but I think it still looks interesting. (Also I got it for 3.50 on ebay hehehehe).

And I have a Monogram 55 Chevy Bel Air. This one is going to take a while. I took the bags out of the box and now I can't get everything to fit back in. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Thanks rommelkiste. :)

Why, yes...it is the Lindberg Crown Victoria. 

Ahah. Nice. I just finished mine yesterday. Just a few more decals to apply. 

I have to order a replacement part for part of the front suspension of my Hudson. Hopefully I can get the model done this week. 

e, smart looking beetle!  I like the detail on your dash and......I'd drive it!!

Thanks Greg,

I think I have about 2 more hours of work left on it. Hopefully I can squeeze it in this week. I want to get started on the 55 Cameo again. I ordered some photo etched parts for it to see how they look. I've never used any before.

ewheeleer: your bug's looking mighty nice!

Made some progress on the bug this weekend. I'm hoping to finish it this week.

Pyr... I'm guessing that's the Lindberg Crown Vic Police Interceptor?

Pyr... I'm guessing that's the Lindberg Crown Vic Police Interceptor?

Got a little more done.  I put a oil cooler in the nose so I moved the battery to the cockpit area in a strapped down battery box.  Got the little body painted, (two attempts) and the chassis.  Did a mock-up to see if everything still fits.  more later.

Rommelkiste: your Porsche looks good- love the Karmann body style. Nice job on the roll cage.

Sweet looking cage and mill Rommelkiste!

Nice work Rommelkiste. I really like the engine detail.

That's a nice looking cage, Rommelkiste.   Much better than the simple hoop bar.

(and probably stiffened up the chassis considerably)

I have a small project going as a break from a 1/12 build.  Thought I would build a Porsche 356 SCCA E/production club racer.  I had a Revell kit in my pile since it was re-issued in 96 and thought it time to pour some glue on it.  It's not the greatest kit, but it will do for this little project.  I didn't like the neck high roll bar in the kit so I looked for some up to date pics and copied a roll bar from one in competition today. I didn't spend too much time on the little engine as when it's crammed in the tiny engine compartment you can't see much of it.  Here is where I am so far, post more later.

Pyrman- that light bar looks great and I do like that instrument cluster- it looks like the driver punched it hard after a long night of incident reports.  

Thanks Trey.

pyrman,,

Looking forward to seeing how your Crown Vic turns out. I've been thinking about a Tennessee State Trooper car to put behind the Nova hehehe.

Thanks, Trey!

Ewheeler the Nova came out really sweet ,love that finish!

Greg liking the light bar!

I managed to get a bit more done on the Crown Vic....

the dashboard....I tried the decal - it didn't fit

here's the completed interior

I decided to go with the MX7000 lightbar - the front and rear

Thanks Mikey.

Tony,

I have a AMT 55 Cameo Pickup I shelved a while back that I would like to add to the list. Here's a picture of where I left off on the build and it's maybe a 1/4 of the way done.

Thanks.
